A man from a family of rich snobs becomes engaged to a woman from a good-natured but decidedly eccentric family. ( )

A young couple is separated by class tensions between their families.

Hollywood's version of being relevant to social issues: a story about a guy with so much money he can support a large family in luxury for decades, through the great depression, without working - and he's supposed to be the lower-class half of the equation. What the serious fuck? Besides that, the movie's dull, poorly crafted, and desperate to seem zany. The only good parts are when it takes a break to be a Jimmy Stewart movie - but for the most part it isn't; it's a Lionel Barrymore Wants You To Know What's Wrong With You movie.
